Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) is a Queensland government agency of the Department of Transport and Main Roads. The agency is responsible for the safety of all water vessels in Queensland waterways. It deals with marine pollution and provides pilotage for Queensland ports. The agency also maintains boating infrastructure including harbours and channels. MSQ investigated the collision of Jessica Watson's boat with Chinese bulk carrier, the Silver Yang, at the start of her round the world trip. The agency found that Ms Watson had not acted responsibly or planned adequately.
